How can anyone tell me that the PS4 controller is better than Xbox One?

I guess if you really like symmetrical sticks one would prefer the DS4.
I also think the D-pad is better on the DS4..
Outside of that everything on the Xbox One controller is superior to the DS4 imo.

because it has a near 0 deadzone on every default controller that doesn't require me to buy an elite to not notice the gap.
360 controller was the only thing to come close to that 0 deadzone.
The negative to that is, the PS4 controllers can have noticeable drift much much sooner than any xbox controller.
Also the d-pad is 300% better.

I had hoped it was obvious.
I'll never understand this way of thinking. If your desire was to always have your hands be symmetrical, why wouldn't you want the sticks to be where the D-pad and face buttons are now? Putting the sticks were Sony does ensures your thumbs are never in their natural resting position, which causes constant strain on the hand. Only Nintendo understood this, but for whatever reason chose to abandon that design. I also am left to wonder if people who demand symmetry freak out whenever they're confronted with a game that requires dpad or face button usage along with an analog stick.
I would never argue about that is about preferences and hands some people have small hands or prefer it for some type of genre like shooters for Xbox and action or rpg for PS4.
Given the premise of this thread and the fact that the OP is dead serious, I had to be sure. lol
their are all fine, i'm personally just use to it but they all kind of figured out the controller thing already they are all just fine
Sticks are in the wrong place. Touch pad. Motion controls. Dpad.

There has never been a dualshock that I could use comfortably for extended periods of time.
Symmetrical sticks are fine, but as close together as dualshocks tend to put them is no good for my hands. I liked the symmetrical sticks on the Wii U pro up at the top those worked well.
I much prefer Xbox and Nintendo controllers on the whole

you should take breaks every couple of hours for at least a few minutes. thats bad for you no matter what controller you use
I find the Xbox One controller to be immensely more comfortable than the DS4. But ergonomics are very individual and others will like the DS4 better. That is perfectly okay to like something else.
...that's because it is a toy...and so is the Xbox...and the Switch...?
I think we need to have a discussion about what you think a toy is, and what you think an electronic device is (spoilers: they're different.)
A toy is something designed and intended for play. Video games are inherently toys. It is okay for adults to play with toys, and for toys to be designed for adults.
Thanks for listening to my Ted talk, have a good day.
Are computers toys, then? are smartphones toys?
No, they're not.
the first time i ever touched a ps4 controller at a demo kiosk i literally laughed. you can instantly feel the "quality" of the plastic.
Also people are so weird about offset sticks. as a person who went directly from mouse and keyboard to a ps2 controller, it never felt natural to me and seemed like i had to try extra hard to keep my grip steady without moving one of the sticks.
and then as soon as i picked up an xbox controller, it was the first time i didnt miss mouse and keyboard.
i mean, i guess I'm kinda hating here, but also i genuinely dont understand the appeal.

Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping track of your goal posts. Let me know when you bring them back to the discussion, in the mean time I'll go play with my toys.
When did I move the goalposts? I asked a followup question designed to clarify your points. That's something i'm allowed to do in a discussion.
Man... I grew up playing the NES controller any thing after that feels like butter. Both of these controllers are fine. I personally prefer the playstation controller, always have
You're trying to obfuscate the discussion because you don't want to be wrong, and I guess that's okay. You don't want your video game console that was designed specifically to play video games as its primary function a toy, and while it's okay that you hold that opinion, it certainly doesn't make it remotely close to true.
Video game consoles are designed to play video games. They are toys with alternative functions for secondary entertainment (i.e. video streaming, communication, web browsing on occasion).
Cell phones and computers, however, are electronic devices who's primary function is not to play video games, however, as a secondary function they can play video games. Computers are more of a grey area, as you can build one with the specific intent to play video games, in which case it becomes: a toy.
If you find the word toy offensive, that's something you'll just have to come to terms with. It isn't pejorative. It's just an accurate description of the product. It is a toy. Sure, it's sold under the "electronics & games" tab on consumer websites, but it is still a toy, and it will always be a toy. I'm totally comfortable with that, because when I bring someone into my office / game room, I often tell them to "enjoy all of my toys".
They are toys.
It's just such a weird word to get hung up on, yenno? I'm 37 years old and I am 100% comfortable acknowledging that I still play with toys. Toys can be made for all purposes and age groups, and at all price ranges. I don't get why people can be embarrassed to call them toys when they're trolling through a dungeon as a female warrior in an iron bikini throwing magic fire out of their finger tips.
It is personal preference. I know some people IRL that love the DS4 and others don't. For me personally, I much prefer the Xbox One Controller since I prefer the stick layout and the L/R triggers are so much better than on the DS4.
I have owned a PS4 or PS4 PRO a few times always preferring to go back and do most of my gaming on my Xbox One X. I got another PRO recently and also bought the Brook Adapter and been using my Elite v1 with it. It is a game changer for me. I had GT Sport before and after a few races I improved my lap times on almost all of the tracks using the Elite v1 versus the DS4. At the end of the day it is personal preference. For me the Elite v2 is the best controller ever made, but I know a shit ton of people that if Sony made a Elite DS4 they would jump all over it because they prefer the stick layout.

I don't feel *nearly* as strongly about this as you apparently do, so I'm just going to withdraw from this, and any future conversation with you. goodbye.
